Some worms will always move toward fresh food, but all worms will move away from light. If you remove the compost one thin layer at a time, go away for a bit and come back and remove the next layer, the worms will continually dive down until you have a very worm-enriched bottom layer left which you can then relocate at will. When harvesting worm bin vermicompost, we do this by hand, but I suppose you could also do it with a shovel - carefully.

There are very different ways to tend to worm bins depending on if indoors or outdoors, the size of them, the worm populations, etc. If you want to avoid smelly (rotting-food type smelly) odors, feed your worms at the same rate they eat it. Don't put more food in there until the previous feeding is gone (really unrecognizable), because worms will find lots of stuff to eat in there when we think not. I read on a post here about burying food in the bedding. I don't do that. Instead it's placed on top of the VC-looking part, IN ONE AREA OF THE BIN, covered with shredded newspaper(the upper bedding), and repeated in another location when that little pile of stuff (decomposing some but not in full rot) is dispersed as well as the worm squirm that consumed it. Chuckiebtoo BTW....the last bit of a small worm bin not yet separated (worms, cocoons, VC)

I wish I would have taken a picture last night while they were out. Can I say BAD idea to put webworms in the terrarium! What a mess they've made. Webs everywhere! Didn't bother my friend he came out when I started taking pictures today. He/she must think that they're a model or is he asking me what were ya thinking? I'll see if the wigglers come back out tonight. Here is a link that might be useful: praying mantis and webworms

Yes. Your right. It’s mold related. But. Unfortually for many people it doesn’t go away that fast. It’s often mold and fungus that is growing through out the house. All of the wood and the dry wall is full of mold spores and fungus too. They have been breathing it in, their pets get sick too. This also comes with with parasites. This is MORGELLONS. Morgellons is REAL. It’s been mis diagnosed as a mental illness for years. DECADES. Morgellons isn’t new. It’s been found mentioned in old medical journal from the 1600s in france. It’s now thought to be related to lyme Dias ease and or the co infections seen with Lyme. BORRIELLIA BABESIA and spirochete and others. All very dangerous and take several years of antifungal and sometime doxycycline too. But antibiotics cause a whole other problem. Antifungals will treat this Our pets are also affected by this. They need to be treated with FENBENDAZOLE TOO. just like us. Once we are affected by mold, our body is open to receive all sorts of ailments. We become more susceptible. I’ve learned so much since 2012. Including what yo7 need to treat it. You need a long term ANTIFUNGAL read about the fungal infection called SPOROTRICHOSIS. morgellons and SPORO are not the same, but everything that happens with the fungus SPOROTRICHOSIS when left untreated, also happens with morgellons when left untreated. Lit can make a person very very physically Sick. It affects the brain. That’s not even including the crawling and bites and itching that keeps you awake. Morgellons is not mental illness. It is a fungus. It is not from chemtrails. It’s not from the government trying to make people sick. It’s non of those. Our earth IS sick. But thats just from supporting 9 billion people and all that does to the earth and the climate. Humidty increases and then, so does fungus and mold. We get sick. We breath it, eat it on foods, Bugs carry this fungus and pass it through bites. Our soil is infected too. . Read about SPOROTRICHOSIS. WIKI has a great write up. You can relate that to morgellons. Funny. They don’t call people with SPOROTRICHOSIS crazy. Yet morgellons is almost the same sickness. It even looks the same. Leaving scars and lesions that don’t heal right. They treat those people with antifungals. Turn as out the same antifungal that treats SPOROTRICHOSIS also treats morgellons. ITRACONAZOLE. But. Most doctors will only prescribe antipsychotic meds for morgellons. THATS OK. i am one of THOUSANDS THAT WAS HEALED USING FENBENDAZOLE. it’s another antifungal used for live stock. People have been treating with it since it came out in 1978. Especially people that raise live stock. They get it from their veterinarians. Cattle get these bites and sores too. Around their hooves and anywhere on the body. It’s also from mold and bug bites. Come to the group MOLD AND MORGELLONS SUPPORT PROTOCL in face book. You can talk to all sorts of people in either cured like me, or in various stages of healing. Those that are healed, stay to greet the new people. To help calm and explain what this is what works. And most of all, that your not crazy and you can get your life back.
